This
Easter Sunday--March 23, 2008--was the date on which Joan would
have been 100 years old, according to her "official" birth
year of 1908. (Though, more likely, she was born in either 1905
or 1906.)

For
the third year in a row, I traveled out to the Ferncliff Mausoleum
in Hartsdale, New York (about 40 minutes north of NYC), to pay my
respects. And, for the fourth year in a row, readers of this website
took up a collection to buy flowers to honor her. Thanks to Joan's
fans worldwide, and again to Cascade Florists of Hartsdale, for
helping to remember her so beautifully.
